The Alaska Zoo, set in wooded grounds on the edge of Anchorage, is home to animals native to Alaska and other northern and Arctic regions, from polar bears, brown bears and wolves to lynx, moose and seals. Ticketed admission lets visitors walk the trails through the enclosures and learn about the wildlife of the far north and its conservation. A pleasant and family-friendly attraction, it offers a chance to see Arctic and sub-Arctic animals in a natural woodland setting close to the city.
